T molting I think and I accidentally moved him a little

[Pyrelitha]

My A geniculata was weirdly sideways on his enclosure i thought he had died and I reacted by moving the enclosure to look better, his legs twitched... but I actually think he’s molting, can someone help to make sure he’s alright? He was closer to on his back prior to me moving the enclosure.. he just looked weird

I dripped water in with a small syringe and he just kinda moved, but still in that same spot. So I assume he's alright.

Leave him/her alone, from the pics doesn't seems that something is out of order... access to water, quiet, wait.

Can't really see what's going on with your photos. It looks like there might be a bit of a web hammock underneath it? If so, that's a pretty good sign it's going to molt pretty soon. My A. geniculata only visibly webs when it's about to flip. However, what I'm seeing could just be reflections and whatever else. And yeah, keep an eye on it, try not to disturb it etc.

If it is not actively molting, it will soon by the looks of it’s opisthosoma. So, leave it alone.

the issue is he was like half on his back when I moved it to check him like i do daily when I returned from work.. and now he's not on his back which spooks me.

and yes theres a web hammock

Should be fine. It’ll flip back over once it senses there’s no danger

Ts dont like being bothered daily, and especially not when molting the less opening the less possible danger for your animal. advice for whats going one: nothing, as in you do nothing.

Well I dont open it everyday I simply turned the enclosure a little as his cave is built on the wall and I can look inside. Anyway he molted today!! So everyone was right for sure.
